Feiyue Lo Shoes Review

Lightweight.Amazing comfortable to run with.Encouraging one to play sports with its elegancy.

 Feiyue Lo Sneaker

Frankly speaking, I was quite astonished at the first sight of Feiyue. Feiyue Plain This is probably because when talking about sport shoes, the first picture comes to our minds is a pair of single-colored shoes with monotonous design which can seldom arouse your desire to exercise. Yet that’s exactly where Feiyue shines among its counterparts.

Taking a look at Feiyue

This is FY311, a very kind of shoes whose beauty lies in its simplicity. I mean, at the first sight it was nothing but a pair of sports shoes. Feiyue Lo However, one second after you’ll notice the delicate colorful rings that holds the lace and the shiny characters,”Feiyue”. The treads are bright rubber with deep grooves for grip. The uppers are white canvas. The toe box is reinforced with white rubber; the area around the meeting of the soles and the toe box is further reinforced with thicker snowy rubber. Speaking of toe boxes, it’s a relatively square one; it’s much rounder and less strangely oblong than the typical running shoe. This is good, especially for people with wide feet.

Elegant and Charming Companion when Doing Sports

First let me introduce myself as an ordinary person whose major is economics and certainly with no special talent for sports. On the other hand, like the majority of us, I admire those athletes who seem to be able to run 3,000 miles with presence of mind. Feiyue Plain However, I feel clumsy and awkward doing sports and it seemed that exercising is just not for me. 
But the possessing of Feiyue did change the situation a little bit. After several days of wearing it for commuting and receiving many compliments for its delicacy, one day, when looking at the mirror, I thought to myself” you look good in Feiyue, why not give it a try? After all, it’s initiatively designed for sports, isn’t it?” 


 Feiyue Plain

So I went to the track. Maybe you have already been impressed by its lightweight but that’s exactly when I fully gripped it. Jogging was still not an easy task but it seemed achievable with Feiyue, to which I’d like to credit its flexibility, lightweight and the spirit of striving for excellence.
Thanks to the encouragement of my charming companion, I have developed the habit of jogging every evening. 
That’s my own experience and I wish all of you could have a taste of the feeling of running with it and keeping yourself really energetic.

Want a go? Wait for a minute, please.


To buy or not to buy? It’s a matter of personality.


I would never recommend Feiyue to everyone because it’s not such a product that can suit every customer with ease. 
Not, indeed.
Its brand’s name ”Feiyue”, meaning “to fly over”, depicts the spirit of going beyond oneself continuously. Like Cinderella’s crystal shoes cannot suit her sisters perfectly, its unique characteristic shines only with those who are courageous and determined enough to chase their ambitions. Feiyue Lo This means if beauty is your first and only criteria, I’d rather suggest some other models especially for aesthetic purposes. 
Yet, I believe that when we look for a certain brand, we tend to value its interaction and coherence with our inner spirits more than its profile. Therefore, similar to the fact that horses reveal its nature in the state of dynamic rather than quiescent, never can we stand out with Feiyue in the absence of its ”true color”. We choose Feiyue shoes; in the meantime, Feiyue also recognizes anyone who is always striving for excellence as its spokesman. 
For those reasons, I cannot recklessly allow myself to draw a simple conclusion to affect your purchasing behavior.
To buy or not to buy, it’s all up to you.  40% Discount Feiyue Shoes on ICNbuys.com http://www.icnbuys.com/feiyue-shoes

However!  When it comes to walking on wet surfaces, especially wood, Feiyues may not be an ideal choice. I almost slipped when I walk on the timber floor with this shoes whose sole was wet.

Weight

The design of this series is to be simple and comfortable, so the weight of them is absolutely light to make sure you feel comfortable and flexible. Actually, the weight is all in the sole – everything above is just canvas and laces. Your feet feel freer and less restricted than in running shoes.

Feiyue Shoes Introduction

Feiyue Shoes Introduction

Feiyue is a sneaker brand originally produced in Shanghai, China, in the 1920s. Today, they are still produced in China. Since 2006, Feiyue is also a French owned company, separate from the original Chinese company. When it comes to Feiyue’s meaning, Feiyue means ‘to fly over’ or ‘to traverse’. This meaning is reflected in the banner of the brand: Flying forward, and evokes a dual elevation, which can also be translated simply as ‘elevation of body and mind’.


History

 When it comes to Feiyue, people who live in the 30’s must be familiar with it. Feiyue is a sneaker brand originally produced in Shanghai, China, in the 1920s, which are manufactured by a company called DaFu (大孚). They became famous during the 30's for their robustness, flexibility and comfort, which were considered essential requirements for martial arts and various forms of athletics. Almost all martial artists and athletes in china consider the shoes as a staple and even 80 percent shaolin monks and kung fu masters wear Feiyues Martial Arts Shoes. In addition, Feiyue continued to be popular for numerous decades with hundreds of thousands of shoes manufactured by the original factory over the course of its lifetime continuing to the present day. The shoes are a popular export with numerous foreign martial arts clubs and schools importing them as the standard shoes for their students. 
Some characteristics Of Feiyues Shoes.


Weight

So light, try them by yourself! Even if the Feiyues Shoes Australia are a little bit heavier than the Kos, but you really can’t feel them at all once you wear them. In most cases, the weight is all in the sole – everything above is just canvas and laces. I am sure that your feet feel freer and less restricted than in running shoes .

Comfort

Very, very comfortable! These will probably feel a little bit loose to start with because the toe boxes of them is much rounder and less strangely oblong than the typical running shoe., but you will get used to that fairly quickly. 

Flexibility

Nobody can deny their extraordinary flexibility.You can imagine how flexible they are because you can bend them by just waving them back and forth. Feiyus are the most flexible ones I have ever seen. You should have a try.

Grip 

Good grip! This is a big feature of Feiyues, like Feiyue Delta mid Shoes, Feiyue Lo Shoes, etc. They are great on wood, concrete, asphalt, brick and painted surfaces, unlike most shoes, which will usually slip on plastic, metal and thick coats of paint. But speaking of walking on wet surfaces, especially wood, Feiyues may not be an ideal choice. 

Balancing

The wonderful balancing is which makes Feiyues so shining. Balance is a critical point of Feiyues design. The flexibility and thinness of the sole make them great for rails, QMs, etc. 

Jumping

You can jump higher with Feiyues. To tell you the truth, flips on grass and sand are fine. Just be careful to land on the balls of your feet, or you will be in pain. I would not recommend flipping on concrete in the Feiyues, which is danderous.The Feiyues for Parkour make it feel like you are pushing with your toes straight from the surface you are standing on. The soft rubber material does not interfere or aid you in any way.

Conclusions

Generally speaking, the Feiyues are designed as Martial Arts shoes in China but the French Feiyues are meant to be casual shoes. However, no matter whether the Feiyue is a brand of China or French, the products of it will be well received by the world. As a Chinese, Feiyue shoes represent our traditional culture of martial arts, also they are the symbols of flying forward, and we can propagandize the features of the shoes and promote them to the whole world. Also, you will not know the shoes really only by my introduction, you should feel them in person.

First, get well informed of your feet, especially the length, width, height of the instep and whether fat or thin. Usually the length of the insole is sensibly printed on the shoes in either Chinese standards or European standards. Well an unavoidable slight mistake is allowed and here follows the chart just for comparison.

Sometimes it’s not easy to measure the exact length without the least mistake. But it doesn’t matter. Just be sure what standards you usually refer to and use this chart to find the corresponding one, then it won’t be too far.  
  
Second, realize some characteristics of Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes. The length usually come as the first consideration in terms of size, however not the sole one. Not all shoes are made in the same model and chances are that the figures also differ slightly from brand to brand. The size of the arches part has a changeable space, so Feiyue shoes USA are clearly wider compared to others of the same size. But the toebox, relatively, is narrower. So if your feet are slim, you’d better buy a smaller size.

Third, follow your own rule. People’s affections for a shoe and definitions on comfort vary a lot. So in the end, you are the decision maker. You’re supposed to take cautions on sizing and consider every aspect in advance. For instance, if you have a high instep, then Feiyue fit you quite well and all you have to do is to choose the right length. For athletes and people who need shoes dead cling to your feet, they might as well consider smaller ones. Those who prefer a loose shoe should really make careful options. But don’t fear to miss the precise one. Even if you choose the one a bit smaller or larger, it does no harm to you at all, for Feiyue does quite well in flexibility and adjustment, so you can still choose to be tight or loose by proper lacing.

How to Choose Martial Arts Shoes

About Choosing Martial Arts Shoes

In the world of martial arts, it is true that the profound essence lies in the power of mind which leads to the uppermost unity and union of soul and body through both internal and external practice. In every sense of the word, Chinese martial art is a complicated blend of diverse cultural patterns, though. And first and foremost, such strenuous sport, either as a mental and physical exercise for longevity or a competitive form, is an art of attack and defense comprised of a variety of difficult and dangerous actions and movements.
     
Now that the spiritual achievement is grounded on physical practice, we can’t attach too much importance to the process of body building, during which adequate equipment matters. Either a tyro or a master will well arm himself. That’s the key to effective trainings or successful performances. Accordingly a pair of Kung fu shoes is a must.



Martial Arts Shoes marke


Though Chinese martial arts have been there for ages, in the past centuries rarely did people have any idea about brands or pay attention to those differences. Even today, due to the limitations of martial arts market, not every footwear company manufactures kung fu shoes. Since the Kung fu storm swept throughout the world, more and more sports companies have grabbed at the business opportunity with the climbing heat of martial arts.

In China, FEIYUE, WARRIOR and DOUBLE STAR are almost born in the same period of last century and all have taken a place in later development. A few best-known global brands like ADIDAS, NIKE, LINING and ASICS who are celebrated for their quality modern trainers, have launched kung fu shoes series of their own. Feiyue shoes

Not that wide though, there’s still a range of selection. Then comes a new question: how to choose a proper pair of martial arts shoes? We might as well make a decision from the following perspectives.

Reference points:


Lightness

Heavy shoes, in any case, will be a burden to your movements. When it comes to a fight, smart movements and agile action which call for light sneakers, are recipe for a defeat.

Grip
      
Standing stationary as if your feet are clung to the ground is one of the basic skills in martial arts, which all kung fu monks or other learners have to repeatedly practice year after year by all means. It’s the reflection of one’s level. Of course, it depends not only on how hard you have trained but also on what you wear. An awesome grip really matters for it’ll help lay a firm foundation and naturally a succession of movements are sure to follow smoothly.

Comfort

Comfort usually comes as the priority in terms of footwear choice. A perfect pair of martial arts shoes should be a close fit to your feet. Neither a tight nor a loose one can meet the demands of martial arts training.

Flexibility
       
Flexibility is another principle by which a pair of kung fu shoes are judged. With sufficient volume of training or playing, sneakers without flexible soles break easily. Most kung fu shoes are rubber padded and Feiyue martial arts shoes are particularly featured durability and robustness.

Full flexibility calls for low uppers as well. The original martial arts shoes stick to the rules and remain well-accepted worldwide. Uppers of low top will not restrain any type of actions. Since there’re quite a few such skills as twisting, your ankle is free to move.

Softness

The supple nature of canvas is another check of comfort. The manufacturers must have racked their mind to work out the preferable choice. Hardly can we bear the rub or squeeze of hard uppers in everyday existence, let alone in strenuous sports.

Anti-skid

On account of the special characteristics and functions of attack and defense, Kung fu shoes make tremendously high demands on skid-resistance of the sole.

Currently, special materials attached to modern manufacturing techniques make it possible to dispose of the slipping issue.

Shock absorption

Martial arts are usually composed of a series of skills and tricks, which includes such intense movements as kicking and stamping, or the routine is performed through successive jumps. Therefore, shock absorption must be taken into serious consideration in selecting shoe materials to guarantee a moderate landing and feet protection.

Slap
       
This might be a secondary requirement to other qualities. A sound slap, however a necessary part of martial arts, will definitely jazz up a kung fu performance or professionally reflect the martial art momentum.

Through repeated experiments, leather uppers are proved to work much better in this connection than canvas does, and the former adds the weigh. The anti-skip soles with shallow grooves also outperform those with deep grooves. Another contradiction comes up between the effect of slip-resistance and sounds.

A sound slap or light and non-slip shoes? The traditional kung fu shoes from Feiyue or Warrior with canvas lace-up top and deeply grooved soles best promise the safety of players. And those made by international brands are more likely to attract you with nice sound effect. But attractive stunts take costs. Anyway it’s a matter of choice up to yourself.

Material

Martial arts shoes, according to different materials, can be divided into two categories.

Canvas martial arts shoes

Most martial art athletes wear the traditional canvas-top rubbers, which are still widely used in formal martial arts games. Feiyue martial arts shoes are typically light, flexible, comfortable, robust and skid resistance. Furthermore, with padded yet grooved soles, they are clearly second to none as far as safety is concerned.

WARRIOR and DOUBLE STAR are potential competitors against FEIYUE. Though of similar looks, DOUBLE STAR shoes, preferred by beginners, pale beside FEIYUE for the sake of flexibility, skid resistance and shock absorption.



Leather martial arts shoes

Honestly speaking, leather martial arts shoes are not that common and the functions are limited. Usually they are produced by small sized companies for special use, for example, Taichi performance. Only those possessing a rounded grasp of the market needs will work on this business. Leather sneakers are a bit much different from the traditional. They are obviously thicker and heavier, and may not reach martial artists’ demands but quite good choice for outdoor activities for their durability.

Some new products of LINING, ADIDAS, NIKE and ASICS are also made of leather or added rubber. They are, clearly, smart designed, doing well in light, breathability, comfort and skid resistance like most of their other footwear on the store, and commonly favored especially for trend followers as casual shoes more than a pair of trainers for martial arts.

Price

Compared to the high price of LINING, NIKE, ADIDAS, the double digits of the traditional canvas sneakers are a real bargain.

Bargains are always adorable for most customers in condition that quality is guaranteed, accounting for the wide popularity of canvas sneakers like FEIYUE Martial Arts Shoes. On the contrary, kung fu shoes of international brand name like LINING or NIKE are probably a luxury for plain monks or other kung fu learners. Perhaps that’s another reason why Feiyue Shoes dominate China’s footwear market.

Conclusion

In martial arts market, FEIYUE and WARRIOR may be the pioneer to produce professional kung fu shoes.


To tell you the truth, sometimes kung fu or just film fans, even the amateur prefer the traditional ones which are also combined with contemporary elements in minimalist style. The point is that they look cooler, or something more like that kind. You see most martial artists wear Feiyue Kung fu shoes. They are the idols who take the lead. An estimated 80 percent of kung fu monks in China have been regular customers of FEIYUE. Although the market has been broadened today, the number one place will, by no means, be challenged.

Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes

Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes



  
Look, there are pairs of Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes Yes, you may think they are so simple when you see them the first time, but you can’t deny that they are also artistic. Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes are the NO.1 shoe choice for Shaolin monks, masters and Tracer lovers beyond all questions. In the spring or the summer, you can choose the low shoes. To the contrary, in the autumn or the winter, high shoes can’t be better. It is mentionable that almost 80 percent of Shaolin monks wear Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes. Do you find that Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes are so cool? Let’s find out.

Look

   
Simple but artistic, they are good choices if you want to have a pair of sneaker. Look at these pictures, to begin with, Feiyue martial arts shoes have a simple, durable canvas lace-up top and a padded yet light sole, the treads are tan rubber with deep grooves for grip, which are perfect for all styles, providing maximum traction for ultimate performance.  As far as I’m concerned, these which uppers are black canvas are better unless you get the white version, which I don’t recommend because the white tends to get dirty.

Weight



So light and flexible, you cannot resist the temptation! Perhaps they’re a little bit heavier than the KOs, but you really can’t feel them at all once you wear them. I am sure that your feet feel freer and less restricted than in running shoes though there is a pad above the sole.

Comfort


We know that Feiyue Shoes are famous for their robustness, flexibility and comfort. It is no doubt that you will feel comfortable when you wear so light a pair of shoe. Speaking of toe boxes, it’s a relatively square one; it’s much rounder and less strangely oblong than the typical running shoe. This is good, especially for people with wide feet, let alone people with narrow feet. 

Flexibility


If you have a pair of shoe in your hands now, the first thing you notice when you handle the Feiyues is how floppy they are. They are so flexible that theycan be bent by just waving them back and forth. If you don’t believe it, I suggest that you should have a try.

Durability


This is what they look like after a month of training, 70% of which was on wood and grass. The rest was mostly precisions and tricking on asphalt. You can see that they’ve been worn down a decent amount.

Then this is what they look like after 15–20 heavy scuffs against a brick wall.

As you can clearly tel from the picturel, the grips aren’t too durable. To tell the truth, the grip may only last a month if they’re used a lot on rough surfaces, but if you are lucky, it will last longer. However, they are so cheap and cost-efficient. You cannot beat the price and you can buy several pairs of Feiyue shoes for the price of a single pair of most other martial arts shoes. And the Feiyue shoes might last just as long, if not longer! 

Grip


No matter wood, concrete, asphalt, brick and painted surfaces, Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes are great on them. But I must say sorry when it comes to walking on wet surfaces, especially wood. Wet wood is the bane of the Feiyue-wearing traceur. Don’t even think about trying to train in a forest after a rain. 

Balancing


Absolutely wonderful. Feiyue Martial Arts Shoes are designed for Martial artists and balance is a critical point of its design.The flexibility and thinness of the sole make them great for rails, QMs, etc. 

Size 


Feiyue shoe sizes may differ slightly from European standards and, as is often the case in a canvas shoe, the backs of the shoes overhang slightly. We have suggested choosing quite a tight fit as a number of free-runners have told us they prefer it this way. On the other hand, the Clarks shoe website suggests leaving more space in from of the toe. However, it is a matter of personal preference. The following chart can give you some suggestions. Feiyue shoe size chart

Conclusions


They are amazing for precisions, good grip, super flexible, and very light. As for the cons, they are not very durable, also no cushioning. But they are so cost-efficient, you can have such a wonderful one on a lower price, you have no reason to resist this temptation. If you’re a more advanced traceur – a year or more of steady training under your belt – you should absolutely get the Feiyues. There is no downside. So cost-efficient, why not have a try?

When it comes to Shaolin Sect, it is one of the largest and best known orthodox sects in the martial artists' community I, whose home base is in Shaolin Monastery, Henan.
